It would be easy for me to read this post and think "what a whiner". But you are experessing what a lot of us are feeling. Saidit was born from the purge of mainly political free speech at Reddit, so political speech is going to dominate here. I would also like to see a site like Reddit with a variety of interests and groups, but there is still Reddit for a lot of those non-political interests that keeps people from looking or migrating elsewhere. A quick look at your recent comment history shows a heavy slant towards politics. Maybe you just don't want to hear points of view other than what you have already settled decided you like. (Me neither, since I'm never wrong.)

If I can throw in my 2 cents, I have noticed that topics stay at the top for days and days, even after comments have slowed down. Other sites have a much quicker rotation. I don't know what the correct answer is on this one, but it seems like this site is stale conpared to others.

I have to defend u/endlesssunflowers on this one. I disagree with their political stance, but they are one of the few people that make regular contributions as posters. Plus, they post in areas besides politics.
